Eurocell announces it’s game changing Modus integrated system
Eurocell has announced Modus®, the UK’s first fully integrated window and door system, available with three stunning sash design options. The contemporary style of Modus® is distinctly different to existing chamfered and ovolo profile systems that make up the UK market, most of which were designed over 10 years ago.
A £3m investment by Eurocell has created a new aesthetic which offers a higher specification window and still delivers significant cost savings for fabricators.
The UK’s first 75mm six/seven-chamber profile delivers optimum energy efficiency. And 28mm and 44mm bead options enable a wider choice of both double and triple glazing specifications to be used. The result is a U-value of 0.7 from a standard argon gas-filled triple glazed unit, without the need for expensive, esoteric-specification glazing units, and a 1.1 U-value achievable from double-glazed units. Enabling lower-specification glazing units for equivalent performance means fabricators can reduce their glazing costs by up to 27 per cent*.
Modus® is a fully integrated system, which means it enables eight window and door types to be made from a single system – again helping fabricators achieve significant cost savings in terms of stockholding and production efficiencies.
The standard rebate sash, slim rebate and fully flush sash styles offer Eurocell customers an unrivalled aesthetic and range of design options compared to traditional PVC-U systems.
This will create new market opportunities as an aesthetic rival to aluminium and timber products – whilst offering significantly better value for money. Plus, the Modus® standard rebate sash creates a contemporary alternative to existing chamfered and ovolo designs.
“As well as achieving no fewer than five UK industry firsts, Modus® offers a clean, contemporary design that’s favoured by discerning homeowners and specifiers,” said Ian Kernaghan, Product Design Manager at Eurocell. “Modus® accommodates both cutting edge and traditional architectural styles – there’s really no need to offer any other material or system!”
The system is available in nine solid and woodgrain effect colours from stock. All standard colours are available with white internal finishes to create a light and airy living environment. A further range of 30 solid and woodgrain effect finishes is available, plus colour both sides.
For a differentiated, premium look Eurocell offers the Architectural range. Consisting of three specially selected metallic options and a premier woodgrain finish, the architectural range adds an affordable touch of class to any development.
Sustainability is one of the biggest issues in modern construction. Modus® has advanced PVC-U credentials by being the first system in the UK to utilise cutting edge dual material extrusion technology (DMET) which layers post-consumer recycled and ‘virgin’ material simultaneously with high precision. Recycled material is concentrated in the central core of the profiles, where it is completely invisible in an installed window or door. This enables Modus® to feature 50%* post-consumer recycled PVC-U as standard, with 100% available as an option.
Modus® is the first major PVC-U window and door system to offer the reassurance of a 12-year guarantee**, which underlines Eurocell’s confidence in its technical and material performance.
Benefiting from a comprehensive marketing support programme and dedicated website, modus75.co.uk, around £5m worth of live project enquiries have already been generated, which gives an indication of the positive reception Modus® has received. Becoming a finalist in this year’s Housebuilder Product Awards in the Best Brand New Product of the Year category (decision 2 July) is further evidence.
